Rammohan Roy
Swami Vivekanand
Mahatma Gandhi
Bal Gangadhar Tilak
Swaraj or Self-rule: The political goal of Tilak was to attain Swaraj or self-¬government for the people of India. He said that the idea of Swaraj is an old one. For the individual Swaraj means the exercise of his lawful freedom; the individual cannot live in his true nature without complete Swaraj. Value addition Concept of swaraj Swaraj is my birthright and I will have it. The word Swaraj is an old Vedic term. Tilak lent it from the Shastras and the life of the great Shivaji. Literally, Swaraj means swa(self) raj (rule/government). Tilak practised swaraj as not merely a right, but as a Dharma. He also presented political, moral and spiritual meanings of Swaraj. For the attainment of Swaraj, he opposed the Britishers. For Tilak Swaraj referred to both the self-rule of the individuals-and the self-rule of the political community. Swaraj was both a part of the philosophy of life and the philosophy of politics. He derived the idea of "Swarajya" from the Veda. Further Tilak gave the following four views of Swaraj : (i) firstly, Swaraj meant that the ruler and the ruled must belong to one group and one nation. (ii) Secondly, Swaraj referred to as rule of law. The State should be governed by law. (iii) Thirdly, government must be elected by the people and must be responsible to them. (iv) Lastly, Swaraj means the State should be established for the overall development of the individuals. Tilak was the most significant and dominant political personality of the early years of the 20th century who gave to the, people of India the first lesson in form of the consciousness of the right of Swaraj or self-rule. He defined Swaraj as 'people's rule instead of that of bureaucracy is Swaraj." To Tilak, Swaraj meant Home Rule or self-government for right, I will have it." He again said, "We demand Swaraj, as it is the foundation and not the height of our prosperity." According to Tilak, Swaraj was not only a right but also a dharma or religion. He was of the opinion that self-rule under Dharmarajya either existed fully or did not exist at all. He, therefore, wanted complete Swaraj. He started Home Rule League in 1916 in order to push forward his ideal of Swaraj. He thought of a federal type of political structure under Swaraj. Tilak thus rightly said that "no nation can be strong and healthy unless it is free."
